Am I the only one with is problem

Sorry to hear that your experiences with conversions have been somewhat negative. For some of us the driving is the main reason we are in this sport. Then again for some of us we enjoy the mechanical work involved with this hobby is just another reason that we love doing this. I for one learn every time something breaks. Sure when it breaks I get pissed off that it was something that I either should have seen in advance and prevented, or just did not know about the weakness. Still I find a way to overcome the problem and make the truck stronger, faster and more reliable with each failure. Ultimately the goal is to build a vehicle that can take whatever I throw at it and still keep right on truckin. Like the Energizer Bunny.

The reason a lot of guys even get into conversions is due to the fact that they have a truck that has already proven itself to be pretty tough as a Nitro, but they want the simplicity of brushless operation. The problem is that Brushless is a lot more powerful then most imagine, and the nitro vehicles just are not built for the torque involved. Even most of the electric models are not designed for the masive brushless power that we are putting into them. This hobby is definitely a trial and error issue that we all have to learn from. Good luck with your endevours.

you guys actually drive your r/cs? Mine are constantly "in the shop". I have no feeling in my hands so in doing repair I get stuck on one stupid thing and need to wait for hands to come by. When I drive them I just can't help but beat them until they break, and the cycle starts over. I've been on this forum a couple years now and am yet to post a good build, but my flm super cybermaxx is almost done, just you wait................

Paralyzed, sorry to hear about your hands, that must pose some issues working with small parts.

I have broken quite a few parts, but have found that the revo seems to hold up better than a maxx. 1/8 scale stuff, especially the buggies, seem to be the strongest rc vehicles.

I do not break much anymore, I must be a better driver!
